Table 2 Pearson correlation coefficient \(\textit{r}\) between different metrics of inspiratory effort, considering all observed breaths in individual patients (\(\hbox {mean} \pm \hbox {SD}\)), \(n= 43\) (and \(n=42\) where \(\textit{P}_{\mathrm{di}}\) is involved)

  1. The included effort metrics are: muscular and transdiaphragmatic pressure-time products (\({\mathrm{PTP}}_{\mathrm{mus}}\) and \({\mathrm{PTP}}_{\mathrm{di}}\)), EMG-time products of diaphragm, intercostal and selected channel (\({\mathrm{ETP}}_{\mathrm{di}}\), \({\mathrm{ETP}}_{\mathrm{interc}}\), \({\mathrm{ETP}}_{\mathrm{sel}}\)) and sEMG-derived muscular pressure-time product (\({\mathrm{PTP}}_{\mathrm{mus,EMG}}\)). Entries marked with \(\star\) are given by symmetry.
